I was up at 4 am as usual, watching tv and saw that Rush Limbaugh had been taken to the hospital with chest pains.
My daughter and I text back and forth all day and sometimes very early if she is up putting wood on the fire. So I sent this text to her "Rush in hospital had heart attack." Thought nothing more, I figured she was still sleeping since she did not text back. Went on with my day.
At 8:30 this am, my phone rang and it was her, extremely agitated. Well, actually screaming at me "what is WRONG with you?" huh?
It turns out she read the word "Rush" as a verb. So she thought it was either my husband or I had a heart attack and was no doubt laying on our death bed! She had checked her cell phone at 8:30 and saw the text. She tried to call my cell, but it had turned itself off. (I really need a new one). She jumped in the truck and went to the hospital she thought we would be in probably 12 miles from her house.
After looking for our car and not finding it, she thought OMG one of them has passed away and I am too late. Now, she is a bright young woman. A court reporter. Has two beautiful kids and a nice husband. I dont' want anyone to think she is some kind of nut! although.....
She called her brother and asked if anyone had a heart attack. He thought she was off her rocker. He said he had just talked to me and I was cleaning my truck off to go pick up a few things. Then she called me....... and all you know what broke loose.
I laughed so hard I sobbed. Thank God she did not have an accident due to an innocent little text sent at 4 am. I hope they read this at my real funeral. I am sure it will lighten the mood! She is getting better, and I may actually go to her house tomorrow for dinner...but I wouldn't walk down a dark alley in front of her right now.....
